Our microarchitecture achieves 2.7 times the per-clock performance of a performance-tuned Nios II/f, Alteraâ s fastest (RISC-like, single-issue, pipelined) soft processor, and 0.8 times the frequency, for a total performance improvement of 2.2 times.

It'd be very interesting to compare this to RISC-V.

BOOM was close to ivy bridge performance in 2016.
